January Wrap Up

Starting this year I am going to attempt to do monthly wrap ups where I will post what books I read this month, what books I received/brought, updates on reading challenges, review posts and what books I plan to read next month.

Books I read this month

This month I read a total of 8 books which is pretty good considering it is school holidays and I had my two kids at home and we also spent around a week moving rooms around at our house. So the 8 books I read this month were:
-What I saw by Beck Nicholas. I received this book for review from Harlequin Teen Australia.
-The Best Goodbye by Abbi Glines. I received this for review from Simon and Schuster
-0.4 by Mike Landcaster. I have had this sitting on my book shelf to read for a few years now and finally picked it up to read.
-The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton. I received this for review from Simon and Schuster a few years ago now and finally got around to reading it. Don't know why I put it off so long I absolutely lived it.
-A Corner of White and The Cracks in the Kingdom by Jaclyn Moriarty. I recieved these two books from Pan MacMillan as part of the blog tour coming up in March for the third book.

This month I have picked out five books to read, four review ones and one for enjoyment. They are:

A tangle of Gold by Jaclyn Moriarty- This is the third book in the Colours of Madeline series. I will be apart of the blog tour for the release of this book in March which I am really looking forward to as I have loved this series so far.

The Selection by Kiera Cass -I have wanted to read this one for ages and finally brought it late last year. I am so excited to read it as I have heard such great things about it from so many people.

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider -I have had this one sitting here for awhile for review and just haven't gotten around to it. I am thinking that it might even be a good fit for one of the reading challenges that I am doing.

The Redhead Revealed by Alice Clayton -I read the first book in this series this past month and loved it so I can't wait to see where Alice Clayton takes us in this one. This book has been sitting on my TBR pile for properly close to two years and I have no idea why because I love Alice's writing.

The November Criminals by Sam Munson - I was lucky to receive this book from Hatchette Australia and it looks really interesting.

I was lucky enough to be contacted by a representative from Bloomsbury who asked if I would like to review Caramel Hearts by E.R. Murray and also interview her as well. Like all bloggers I jumped at the chance. I couldn't believe when the author actually contacted me herself and I dealt with her personally. It was a great honour to read her book and interview her. E.R Murray was very easy to communicate with and I hope there will be more opportunities to help her with future books.

Q&A What inspired you to write Caramel Hearts? Timing had a part to play; I wrote Caramel Hearts when my first book, The Book of Learning – Nine Lives Trilogy 1 went on submission to publishers; that book is an urban fantasy set in Ireland and I wanted to write something different after spending two years with those characters. I also wanted to look at the effects of addiction on a family unit, and explore a protagonist from a poor background – lower classes are still under-represented in young adult f…

I was lucky enough tobe approached by Allen and Unwin to be apart of this amazing blog tour. I Seriously can't thank them enough for this amazing opportunity (even if my post is a little late). Girl in BetweenAuthor: Anna Daniels Publisher: Arena Allen and Unwin Pages: 311 pages Release date: 1/05/2017 R.R.P: $29.99 Lucy Crighton has just moved in with some gregarious housemates called Brian and Denise... Who are her parents. She's also the proud mother of Glenda, her beloved 10-year-old... Kelpie. And she has absolutely no interest in the dashing son of her parents' new next-door neighbour... Well, maybe just a little... As the girl in between relationships, careers, cities, Lucy is facing some awkward truths- like her mum's obsession with Cher, her fathe's unsolicited advice, and the probability there's more cash on the floor of her parent's car then in her own bank account. Thank goodness for Lucy's crazy-but-wonderful best friend, Rosie, who's around to…

Hey everyone today is my stop on the Who's Afraid? by Maria Lewis tour thanks to Hatchette Australia for organising it and allowing me to be a part of it.

Who's Afraid?Author: Maria LewisPublisher: Hatchette AustraliaPages: 340 pagesMeet Tommi Grayson: she's all bark... and all bite.'It was like my wolf had been there all along, waiting for me to tap its hand and step into the ring...'
Tommi Grayson's never exactly been a normal girl. Bright blue hair, a mysterious past and barely controlled rage issues have a way of making a woman stand out. Yet she's never come close to guessing who she really is...
When her mother dies, a shattered Tommi decides to track down her estranged father. Leaving Scotland for a remote corner of New Zealand, she discovers the truth of her heritage- and it's a whole lot more than merely human.
Barely escaping with her life, now Tommi must return to her friends, pretending everything is normal, while all too aware of the danger…
